DAIRY PROBLEM SERIOUS

MR. ARSENAULT: I will leave that ior the Minister to‘ answer. We ilnd. in the Minister's report at page 24. the admission that "highly graded cattle are now selling on the market at prices that reach almost to the level obtained ior registered animals" So“ now he ls not preaching so much the registration oi cattle. ,

HON. WER. LEA: Well.‘ highly graded are nearly registered.

MR. ARSENAULT: On the same page we iind the iollowirlg signific- ant statement. *

‘Uniortlmaialy. however. while the total cattle Population has in- creased there are reasons to believe that the number oi mature cowl has undergone a decline. Buyers are concerned chieiiy with the purchase

oi the highest type grades, that are due to ireehen shortly liter their arrival at destination. The re- moval irom this province oi these animals which are just ready to go into their period oi production has a demoralizing eiiect not only up- on the individual herd production, but to some extent on the volume oi milk being supplied our butter and cheese iactories."

In other words we have leas milk now than we had a iew years ago. Surely this ‘ icment in the Minis- ters own report should make him stop and think. The report continues:

“Ihesoleincalvuisstillanun- fortunate procedure on the pant oi our runners. The disposing oi low grade calves oi’ scrub heritage is to ibe commended. but the whole- sale disposal oi heiiers irom im- proved bulls is to be greatly deplor- ed. We do not ieel the eiiect oi these sales until long miter they are made, but we certainly will come t0 a period oi low dairy production in the Province ii the demand ior the mature cow continues and the operations oi buyers who are secur-' Ing car lots of good calves at very low prices are to be tolerated."

He is iindlng that there is some- thing wrong: and he should reiiect seriously and iind where the cause of this trouble lies. Our people are |beglnning_to wonder ii the dairy in- dustry is going to be profitable in the future. Theyknow now about the effect oi this iamous Australian Treaty. and I think it would be well for the Minister to make a deep study oi this subject- bet him leave the study oi our subsidy claims to the Premier. let him pay more ai- lentlon to his own department and iind out, ii possible. what can be done. to better conditions in this province with regard to the dairy Industry and agriculture generally. He should study the great damage that has come to the industry by this treaty, which has caused more disturbance among our dairy ianncrs during the last couple oi years than any other treaty or legislation ever enacted. This re- p°rt shows all too plainly that our people are going out oi the dairy in- dustry and he has had to issue e warning not to sell calves or young cattle.

Fslconwcod Farm

The Minister-in a. modest any oi course-had been pralsihg the Fal- conwood Farm and telling us what a meat success that iarm hes turned out to be under his supervision. In one oi his statements on the Drsit some}; he told us that they-produced so much hay on the Farm lasg year that they had to sell it m: us tum to the report on Falcmwood Farm. year i927 when it was under Conser- vative administration. That year we had 123 acres oi hay and we pre- duced 310 tons. This year they have 124 acres and produced 214 tone- an acre more than we had? lpd just iour tons more hay.

HON, MR. LEA: What did you do with it? You didn't‘ have any to loll.

MR. ARSENAULT: The hill’. ltfln shows whet we did with it. We turn- ed that hay inio Iced ior’ our cowl. and produced more milk. 1i you turn iopegefloithe llfireportym will iind that we produced 210M111 pounds oi milk Ion only 38,000 pounds hat your: I llifer-

that the cows, when they sew you coming blck, ielt so badly ehflzgol so discouraged that they refused t; lgive milk? (Laughter and Applluse.)

We also increased the production or pork. We produced 428.000 in 1m and this year they have only 165,000

a pounds.

I Making a "Proiit"

But my hon. iriend says: "We have a. net operating proiit oi mam’ thous- ands oi dollars." But how are these proiib made up? Would you believe it. Mr. Speaker, in 192B when potat- oes were selling in this Province irom eighincn to twenty-live cents l blah- el, when practically all our isrmeru w°re ruined by potatoes, ma. good Minister oi A, ' “ sold potlteel at 00 cents a. bushel to that institut- ion 0i lunatlycsi

HON. MR. IEA: They were worth $1 that previous winter.

‘MR. ARSENAULT: Th“ is how he makes his proiits. Other people had to show n lose on their potatoes. and my hon. irlend could lei! his n! 00 cents. ,

HON. MR. LEA: The previous win

cents to a dollar. 1M8. AHSIINAULT: That is not what the iarmera say. I have looked over the reports. end I iind that in 1927 we sold 2,845 bushels at 00 cents. HON. hm. LEA: ‘Phat is all right. MR. AiRSENAULT: The om year

you sold them at 60 cents; and you

sold your‘ milk at $2.15, while our iarmers did not receive nearly that amount. " HON. rm. LEA: We lust credited them with hsli the price oi the city milk. _lVilR. ARBENAULT: Not at ‘all. Ii

_ youcould get all the farmers within

reach oi Charlottetown end give them the advantage oi the city mark- et, I would say that you were entit- ,‘led to the same price. But our farm- ers cannot sell at Charlottetown: pric- es. and the Minister knows that very will. We iind, also. in 1021. that there was s net proiit oi $3,105. Lest year you hid a proiit 0i $3,071. do you didn't nuke as much pr0iit as we did liter alL

HON. MR. LEA: Read us 1028: $5.- 800 clear proiit. .

MR. ARSENAUUI‘: You were not entitled to that. because yon were selling your milk at 82.25 and you were selling your potatoes at 60 cent! a ‘bushel. the same price as we sold them ior in 1921. Was 192B Io goal a. year ior potatoes as 1921 or 1919? Every farmer knot‘; It was not. Thai. was the year they went behind.

Eshlhitlon

We iind that the Minister oi Ag- riculture has not given up his notion that the Charlottetown Exhibition is the only exhibition to be assisted and patronized. H's does no; wish to have the local exhibitions continued. ai- though the iarmer members in the i-louse. Liberal and Conservative a- like, are agreed that the local exhib- itions odier mom advantwdi. The Minister admits this year that he is prepaacdtobowhisheadtothewill oi the representatives. I woe pleased lo note this change in him. and 1 think. ii the members-who objected have done nothing but, take him down a peg or two they have accomplished something. I wonder what my hon. irlend irom Igmont Bay will think oi him this yea-r? will behave to light him again this year to get the small grant oi $250 to such a aplen- did dnstltution that should be getting three times that amovunt?

Another thifll that ll RUN-table is that the school ialrs. which were greatly encouraged 01y us. have not beeneoiueoesaiuliasgyeanineonn districts at least. 1 iind that there wssenlymeialrileldintileilret tnspootcnte An Prince County.
